I have a fiberglass hood already, but interested in front bumper and fenders. Would the Chevy SS look good on a gmc or denali front? Can you make these?
Huge weight reduction for the hard core racer

I'm seriously considering a full fiberglass front clip from Trailer Products. That thing is bad ass! Will have to do a few mods to make it fit the 06 grille and make mounts for a few things but it would look killer!
Simon tried to drum up interest awhile back and it was a no go then..........

I apreciate all the coments and interest. I'm hoping to get something going soon. my plans are to start off using my truck to test on, bumper and fenders first and then the hood. My original reason for doing this was to try to shave some weight for racers. It's starting to look like most people are interested in a one piece front bumper that can be painted to match the truck. Thats probably going to be my first piece.
I'm sure the Chevy SS bumper would be just as easy to make, all I need is to find one to make the mold from. Is the bottom of the SS grille the same as the HD's if so it wont be a problem. If not it will still be doable we will just have to modify the mold a little for the bumper to match up with the grille.
I would be interested in a hood but im looking for one that is like stock just taller like by 2-4 inches.

Thanks for the input guys, were still gathering info and trying to figure out how to make these parts affordable, which I think we will be able to do. It seems like everything that can bolt to a Dmax cost way more than it should, were trying to not be part of that trend.
If it would be cheaper to do a complete front clip as a whole instead of bumper,hood,and fenders.That would be even better.
Would certainly be cheaper, just worried about shiping right now. Would a bolt together kit work or would you just bite the bullet and figure out how to ship it? Shiping something that large is going to be expensive.
What ever happened to this?! Im looking into fiberglass panels for the reg cab and i stumble across this!
Was talking to him today, he said he found other companies doing this already so never went through with it, but I'm still looking..
I cannot find the company that was making the panels. I may revisit this idea, just want to make sure there absolutely not available anywhere else.
I meant to call that GTS place today but forgot. Ill let you know if i talk to them tmrw.
